A key element of our service at City Year is our Youth Corps: the Young Heroes program for middle school students and the City Heroes program for high school students. These are Saturday service learning programs that teach our students teamwork and that they are not too young to make a difference. Each Hero commits to serving over 100 hours of community service voluntarily.
Last night, the 300+ students in City Year Greater Philadelphia's Young Heroes Center City, Young Heroes Northeast and City Heroes programs graduated. Each received a Presidential Service Award in honor of their commitment to service.
Hundreds of family and friends came out for the evening's event which featured special awards for extra-dedicated Heroes, presentations from our school partners and our corporate sponsors.
Congratulations to our '08-'09 Heroes and thank you for all that you do!
